Mentors

“We all carry the seeds of greatness within us, but we need an image as a point of focus in order that they may sprout.” ~ Epictetus

To our mentors and their families we say thank you. Thank you for your time, dedication, encouragement, and believing in us even when we do not believe in ourselves. You have been our greatest inspiration, guides, and friends on this journey that we call robotics.
